No.
Intelligence has the same heritability as height.
I absolutely do not understand the friction with some people in accepting this common sense proposition. You shouldn't even have to back it up with research - it's such an obvious and basic assertion. Yet it's offensive to the degree that he (or someone) actually downvoted your comment. Why? Like I can get some debate over the "IQ" metric itself and it's applicability to real life, or not wanting to paint entire racial groups of people in broad strokes as inferior, but "Intelligence is genetic" is controversial? "Intelligence isn't measurable"? How? Evolution stops at the neck? Do these people live in the real world?
I don't want to put abra_dacabra down but I feel like he's not genuinely invested in this argument so much that he's stubbornly fortifying this metaphysical / ideological position for political purposes. "Don't let the stormfags gain one step or they'll take over the forum and hurt the conservative movement!" I must applaud his perseverance.
It's remarkable. You only need to leave the house for 5 minutes to realize that there are massive differences in intelligence between humans. That this is somehow controversial is incredible. It's just evidence of how unfathomably strong the social programming is for the majority of people. There is no other emperor as naked as this one.
And it isn't even related to stormfaggotry. It's just truth. A state of nature. Like, you can take this fact and go full commie and demand more handouts to blacks bc they can't compete on equal terms. It's not like we're saying blacks are low IQ therefore fire up the chambers. If anything, it's that blacks will underperform for as long as you fail to take this into account and plan for it, e.g. with special needs classes that teach impulse control and delaying gratification rather than gender studies and crt. The irony is that the blindfold position on intelligence does more to harm low IQ populations than pretty much any other social conviction.
Read this you dumb fuck, and keep your fucking mouth shut about things you clearly have not researched.
Heritability of IQ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_IQ
Or read some studies, you'll find plenty, like this one:

Heritability of height is also about 80% -> https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/understanding/traits/height/#:~:text=Scientists%20estimate%20that%20about%2080,height%20are%20only%20partially%20understood.
